Trident Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRID), with headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, designs, develops and markets integrated circuits for digital media applications, such as digital television, LCD TV, and digital set-top boxes...
 


The DPTV™ family of video processors are highly integrated system-on-a-chip devices, targeting the converging HDTV-ready and PC-ready digital CRT TV, LCD TV, PDP TV, and DLP TV applications where high precision processing of video and data are the requirements. DPTV? video processors contain dual-purposed triple 10-bit high-precision and high-speed video ADCs video inputs, a high performance 4th generation multi-format 3D digital-comb video decoder that supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM*, an HDTV sync separator, motion adaptive de-interlacing engine, and the video format conversion engine, supporting many output modes, picture-in-picture (PIP), multi-window, and picture-on-picture display modes.

Our flagship product, DPTV™ (Digitally Processed TV) video processor ICs, has been in the market for more than three years. The DPTV™ chip has an advanced digital video color-decoder, de-interlacer, digital noise reduction, frame rate converter, and a graphic-oriented On-Screen Display engine. It decodes an analog video input, converts interlaced format into a progressive format, and displays onto various display devices. The DPTV™ chip is ideal for LCD TVs, plasma TVs, flat tube CRTs, and set-top box applications where high-precision video processing is required.

We are currently leading in the integration level and video quality. TTI is the world’s first and in many cases, the only company to integrate high-precision ADC, advanced 3D comb filter video decoder, de-interlacer, and scaler into a single chip. Our innovations never stop, and currently, we are introducing the fourth generation of DPTV™ chips.

DPTV™ family employs the award winning "DCRe™" technology. DCRe™ stands for Digital Cinema Reality engine that transforms analog cinema signals into digital processed signals. DCRe™ not only proceses the motion digital video but also displays still digital video with an advanced 3D digital comb filter in a single chip. As a consequence, with DCRe™, the DPTV™ family delivers beautiful cinema realistic video onto different kind of flat displays.
